Trader Joe's Movie Theater Popcorn

Breakdown

Processed · 1 ingredient to avoid

It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Trader Joe's Movie Theater Popcorn lists 4 ingredients, starting with Popcorn, Expeller Pressed Vegetable Oil (Sunflower and/Or Safflower Oil), Clarified Butter (Milk) and Milk. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 47/100 Trader Joe's Movie Theater Popcorn lands mid-scale — below the typical score in popcorn, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in popcorn is Lesser Evil Organic Popcorn Himalayan Pink Salt at 100/100.
